I would rather hang a bunch of Renoir's, especially his Impressionistic works, than what is called art in today's perverted world.

[Mariner]

You can have my share.

[headstamp 2]

I was never mad for those cars either.

[Little Ray]

Huh?
Renoir helped start the impressionistic school of painting.
He isn’t my favorite, but his work is amazing.

[nwrep]

Yes, better Renoir than Marcel Duchamp’s toilet bowl as art or Rothko’s colorful bands.. Renoir rocks.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Agreed. This is the stuff that fetches huge prices at auctions these days.

[Rummyfan]

“Activists” brandished signs calling Renoir an “aesthetic terrorist”...

No. Do you know who is a terrible painter? Picasso. He never learned - or couldn't do - perspective, so he invented cubism.

[Rapscallion]

Do you despise Renoir?

No! We despise the attitude of the Washington Post. It's a "mental case" in print, if there ever was one.

It is beautiful, but since it is not subversive or edgy or offensive, people hate it...

My daughter is an artist, as is her significant other. They both make a good living at it. The art they produce for themselves is beautiful. I don’t really “get” the stuff they make for commissions, art shows, or sale in their respective galleries.

But when you count on stuff to buy bread, you make what sells.

[a fool in paradise]

Dead white male. No wonder woke curators hate him.

[real saxophonist]

One of the largest Monet collections is coming to Denver in October. I'd rather have a couple of Alan Bean originals.

[gaijin]

Easy to see why they hate him:

Europe
white
happy
straight

This is probably the first time I have given a thought to Renoir in 50 years or more. I guess I should have somehow been offended over the years.

Just my uneducated ignorance saved me, I suppose. :)

Renoir-loathing is a default position in today’s art world and seems to gather more adherents in the wider population each year.

buy on the dips

[Agatsu77]

Who cares??? If you like it put it on your wall otherwise STFU!

[Yardstick]

Somehow the anti-Renoir sentiment reminds me of Trotsky getting the icepick. Guessing it has leftist political beginnings. Feels purge-y.

[Larry Lucido]

I preferred Monet, Manet and Tippy Tippy Day Day.

And the Chrysler LeBaron.

[Gasshog]

Arrtyfarty freaking slobs

Leave Renoir ALONE!

It’s good art, I have some prints and I LIKE EM.

[Moonman62]

Modern Art is STILL Sh*t

I’ve got to admit I have never liked most of the French Impressionists. That includes Renoir.

I love Edward Hopper, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Ashcan School of Artist John Sloan, George Bellows and even the nutcase self taught artist Henry Darger.

Also Maxfield Parrish and Norman Rockwell.

But Renoir....wow, really don’t like his work. So many of his nudes are just awful.

As for today’s artists I have almost no interest at all. I’m more interested in the contemporary self taught artists than the morons who seek to ‘ enlighten ‘ us hillbilly schlubs.
